Your Gold Teeth

Got a feelin' I've been here before

Watchin' as you cross the killin' floor

You know you'll have to pay it all

You'll pay today or pay tomorrow

You fasten up your beaded gown

Then you try to tie me down

Do you work it out one by one?

Or played in combination?

You throw out your gold teeth

Do you see how they roll?

I have seen your iron and your brass

Can't you see it shine behind the glass?

Your fortune is your roving eye

Your mouth and legs, your gift for the runaround

Torture is the main attraction

I don't need that kind of action

You don't have to dance for me

I've seen your dance before

Do you throw out your gold teeth?

Do you see how they roll?

Tobacco they grow in Peking

In the year of the locust, you'll see a sad thing

Even Cathy Berberian knows

There's one roulade she can't sing

Dumb luck my friend won't suck me in this time

Tobacco they grow in Peking

In the year of the locust, you'll see a sad thing

Even Cathy Berberian knows

There's one roulade she can't sing

Dumb luck my friend won't suck me in this time

Got a feeling I've been here before

Won't you let me help you find the door?

All you got to do is use

Your silver shoes, a gift for the runaround

Use your knack, darlin'

Take one step back, darlin'

There ain't nothing in Chicago

For a monkey woman to do, uh-huh

Do you throw out your gold teeth?

Do you see how they roll?
